Quick Polar Finder for Skywatcher Star Adventurer/Skywatcher Star Adventurer2i

Quick Polar Finder for iOptron Skyguider Pro

Introduction

Polar aligning with laser pointer is intuitive, convenient and starter friendly, but it's only possible with Move Shoot move star tracker up to now. We want to share the pleasure of laser with other popular star trackers, namely, SkyWatcher Star Adventurer and iOptron SkyGuider pro.

Introducing Quick Polar Finder. Attach it to your equatorial mount, aim the laser beam for Polaris and you've got a fairly close alignment. For Astro-landscape photography, you are good to start shooting right away. For deep space object photography, simply take the Quick Polar Finder off and do an accurate alignment with the polar scope. In either case, you get to shoot the sky in much less time and probably save your back in the long run.

A thank you note

Glen Tillyard's 'loo roll' laser adapter for his SkyWatcher Star Adventurer inspired us to redesign our initial prototype. We appreciate his kind disclosure of this genius work!

Notice

Quick Polar Finder only works at locations where Polaris is visible.
Quick Polar Finder includes a 520-532nm laser pointer with an output less than 5mw. Please refer to local laws for regulation on laser products before purchasing.

An absolute neccessity

I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for this excellent product. I purchased an iOptron Starguider Pro and for the first couple of days, it was very difficult to align Polaris in the small telescope view of the StarGuider as in the dark spots, there are no many stars closer to it. This little tool makes star align so easy even if you reach the spot after it’s dark ( it’s somehow easier to find and align Polaris without this tool if you are at the spot during twilight ).

The customer support is also great as the team reached out to me to confirm my SkyGuider Pro compatibility before shipping the product.

It’s a worthy investment for anyone using Star Guiders without laser guide.

Very helpfull

It makes the calibration easy

Skywatcher star adventurer

This pointer fits the skywatcher star adventurer mini as well as its bigger brother, looking forward to trying it out soon, maybe even tonight?

Perfect

The Quick Polar Finder makes it easy to align the Tracker to Polaris - it fits perfect on my SkyGuider.

Polar align in seconds!

I previously owned the MSM tracker with the laser pointer and loved how quick and easy it was to polar align. When I upgraded to the SWSA, I sorely missed the laser pointer so much that I actually hot glue gunned a cold shoe on the side of the SWSA and used the laser pointer from the MSM.

Fast forward a couple months and they came out with a laser pointer specifically for the SWSA and it has been so worth it! Once I calibrated my laser pointer, I was able to get locked on Polaris in seconds. If I wanted to after, I could remove the ladder and precisely polar align with the scope. This little tool has saved me minutes and the hassle of polar aligning with the SWSA. I highly recommend this item. If you do get this, make sure to calibrate the laser pointer first so that way it is in alignment.

Great tool

This small gadget makes working with the Star Adventurer a lot easier and quicker, love it!

makes alligning so much faster.

super product makes it so much easier and faster to allign

Best thing to sliced bread

Used this at Joshua Tree. Super easy to use and made accurate polar aligning a snap. What would take 10 min now took 2 min. I am so happy they released this product

Quick Polar Findee

Using the quick polar finder on my ioptron skyguider pro has made polar alignment so much quicker and easier! I can move my tripod now to different compositions and realign with ease! I highly recommend this product to anyone who has this tracker.

The quick polar finder

The quick polar finder is a great bit of kit. It helps you align to Polaris quickly due to the green laser beam it projects into the sky. Once you’ve adjusted your SA tracker so it lines up with Polaris in the sky it’s visible in the polar scope of the tracker.
